Default Quiet Exhaust...?

i was just curious, what is the most quiet exhaust for the vette with headers? i dont want loud... all that does is draw unwanted attention...

and the vids i have seen of TT lingenfelters on the net... have been just as quiet as stock.... how do they get them like that?

thank you

Turbo cars will always be a LOT quieter than a normally aspirated or supercharged car on the same exhaust, from my experiance.

long tubes and Ti's sound perfect to me.

the ti's muffle the long tubes just enough to know they're there but not loud enough to get tiresome on a long commute.

I have a set of GHL and American Racing Headers and they sound awesome (quiet compared to others)

That combo gave it a very unique sound, that was until I put the B&B Bullets on

I am tempted to put them back on, But I hate the tips on the Ti's they look cheap to me
